Every religion, wanna-be religion, and latest new age whiff is addressed in the UUA. The point is not mere “addressing,” but living.</I><BR/><BR/>Shawn's problem does not seem to be any intolerance or 'abandonment' from the UUA, but that Jesus Christ is not it's center. If anything he is saying we are too tolerant.<BR/><BR/>You are part of the smorgasbord he talks about, Robin.<BR/><BR/>If you think your comments were so helpful, why do you think he suppressed them?<BR/><BR/>Thanks. You've linked to a fine example of UU tolerance and acceptance. Shawn holds a traditional monotheistic belief that many of the posters on his blog probably don't share, but they wish him well, and are sorry to see him go. <BR/>Whatever problems you have had in the UU blogosphere are obviously not the result of your theology.<BR/><BR/>That a Christian decides that a Christian church is a better place to live out his Christianity is not surprising, nor is it a fault of UUism.indraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077014748902924745noreply@blogger.com
